The Pioneer Valley + the ECCC have a great contingent of women riders! At the moment we are in the process of building a women’s team. Check out our page for info, and let us know if you want to go on a group ride.


What to expect + bring for a race weekend:

  • We generally leave for race weekends Friday evening, and get back midday on Sunday
  • Bring your bike, helmet, shoes, kit, gear, rain gear, and some money for food. Do not bring any dignity, as it’ll most likely get lost
  • Travel, Lodging, and Race Entries are usually covered by the club
  • During MTB season we will usually be camping out with the other ECCC teams at the venue. If you got a grill and bring it, kudos to you
